Hebrews 3
1 Whence, holy brethren, partners, in a heavenly calling, attentively consider the Apostle and High—priest of our confession—Jesus
Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;
2 As one, faithful, to him who made him: as, Moses also, in [all] his house.
Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.
3 For, of more glory than Moses, hath, this one been counted worthy—by as much as more honour than, the house, hath, he that prepared it;
For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who has built the house has more honour than the house.
4 For, every house, is prepared by someone, —but, he that hath prepared all things, is, God.
For every house is built by some man; but he that built all things is God.
5 Even Moses, indeed, was faithful in all his house, as an attendant, for a witness of the things which were to be spoken;
And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;
6 But, Christ, as, a Son, over his house, —whose house are, we, —if, the freedom of speech and boast of the hope, [throughout, firm, ] we hold fast.
But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.
7 Wherefore, —according as saith the Holy Spirit—To-day, if, unto his voice ye would hearken, do not
Wherefore (as the Holy Spirit (pneuma) says, To day if all of you will hear his voice,
8 harden your hearts, —as in the embitterment, in the day of testing in the desert,
Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
9 When your fathers tested by proving, and saw my works forty years.
When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.
10 Wherefore I was sore vexed with this generation, and said, Always err they in their heart; —howbeit, they, learned not my ways:
Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do always go astray in their heart; and they have not known my ways.
11 So I sware in mine anger—they shall not enter into my rest!—
So I swore in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)
12 Be taking heed, brethren, lest at any time, there shall be in any one of you, a wicked heart of unbelief, in revolting from a Living God.
Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
13 But be exhorting one another, on each successive day, —while the To-day is being named! lest any from among you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.
But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
14 For, partners of the Christ, have we become, —if, at least, the beginning of the confidence, throughout, firm, we hold fast:
For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast unto the end;
15 So long as it is said—To-day, if, unto his voice, ye would hearken, do not harden your hearts, —as in the embitterment.
While it is said, To day if all of you will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
16 For, who, though they heard, caused embitterment? Nay, indeed! did not all who come forth out of Egypt through Moses?
For some, when they had heard, did provoke: nevertheless not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.
17 But, with whom, was be sore vexed forty years? Was it not with them who sinned, whose dead bodies fell in the desert?
But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness?
18 But, unto whom, sware he, that they should not enter into his rest, —save unto them who were obstinate?
And to whom swore he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?
19 And we see, that they were not able to enter, because of unbelief.
So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
